Therefore do not be vague and thoughtless and foolish, but

understanding and firmly grasping what the will of the Lord is.

And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but ever be

filled and stimulated with the Holy Spirit.

(Ephesians 5.17 and 18).

POINTS FOR MEDITATION AND PRAISE

1) Awake and fully alive to the purposes and plan of our

Lord and Savior we can live out His Life in His Light by the

accurate and precise guidance of the Holy Spirit, sensibly,

wisely and intelligently.

2) Making the best of our time by prioritizing His Kingdom and

His righteousness we can be on target and effective.

3) Maximizing His glory requires our clear understanding and

firmly grasping of His priorities for our life. This is predicated on

knowing His will precisely. This is possible when you are filled with

the Holy Spirit.

4) That is why St. Paul is telling us not to be high or drunk with wine

or by other means. Instead we must be filled and stimulated with the

Holy Spirit always.

This verse is a call to many who are trying to know God’s will for their

lives, but are distracted by many things, pulled in many directions,

perhaps seeking stimulation by other means. It is imperative that we

are fully awake, alert, sober, intelligent and have our wits about us.

It is vital at this hour to redeem the time because we need to have clear

minds unclouded, unimpaired and unimpeded . It is absolutely important

and possible for you to know God’s will and direction for you in every

situation and for every decision. This can happen for you when you are

filled, stimulated and led by the Holy Spirit.

PRAISE THE LORD JESUS FOR HIS INDESCRIBABLE GIFT!
HALLELUJAH! AMEN!
